Finished Bankrupcy

Does anyone know what the maximum amount of money a trustee can take from someone who goes bankrupt?

Technically, there is no maximum. From a practical point of view, once a trustee has enough funds to repay your debts in full, plus cover all of the fees associated with filing, any excess funds are returned to the bankrupt. In other words, you won’t be forced to pay more than what you owe and the costs of filing. Our firm handles around 4,000 files a year and this happens once every couple of years… if you ask, your trustee will likley bring a motion to have your bankruptcy annulled once the debts have been paid in full…
